If Christmas Vacation Were a Musical

If you love the movie National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, imagine it as a musical. Not just a musical, but an opera, as all the dialogue is sung, and the only speaking part is a bit of description of the setting. Penn Holderness plays all the roles, from Clark Griswold to Eddie to the neighbors and peripheral characters. He can't do all the slapstick humor by himself, but if you know the movie, it's not necessary because your brain will fill it in. Whats important is that he captures the meaning of the film in his clever rhymes. However, if by any chance you haven't seen Christmas Vacation, you might get just a bit lost. Don't let that stop you from enjoying it! It starts out a bit slow, and gets better as it goes along.
